New Adium 0.80

New version of Adium out.

http://adium.sourceforge.net/ - Some of the features are pretty good ecspecially the new file transfer that really needed some work done. However the new preference pane(s) are pretty confusing after upgrading (well for me). Also some of the features like the event notification windows that where rounded squares aren't included now to my knowledge, its rather strange..

What does everyone think of it ?

Looks nice and runs fine here. Far more polished than previous versions, IMHO.

I really like the 08. I've been compiling the nightly builds for a while now to access to the 0.8 features, especially meta contacts. For those who haven't used it, it means you can combine people's identities from different networks into a single contact. It also features a rather nifty built in encryption system called otr (off the record, http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/ ) while allows for deniable conversations.

No crashes with the 0.8 final for my either.

Can some one explain what growl is? Moreover, I agree, the preference pane is some what confusing. I had a friend try to send me a file from ichat, I could not get it to download.

er... I'd like it so that it allows me to block people, and every time a contact I deleted or moved through Adium signed on, it wouldnt ask me if I'd like to apply the change to the server, over and over and over again.
